WAND
What magic can we make in this crazy world?
Chris Walkman has an unusual problem: he's just been given $20,000 to make the world a better place, starting right in his hometown of Los Angeles of the 1990's. He'd better try something for real, or a not-so-little indiscretion at his previous job might become a bigger issue. So, fueled by the magic of the money and his overactive imagination, he gets to work, hires a homeless man as a copilot, and sets our to change things for the better. His key insight: the pen and television broadcast antennas are "wands" that can still make magic in our time.
